I used to go to school high almost every day. One day i thought to myself, "Wow I never get shit done when I'm high." ever since then I view weed in a completely different light. I now see it as a way to reward myself after I get everything done.
twitch7771 and that’s the issue i feel like ppl down play it. It’s a big deal when you’re unmotivated to do anything and thats what makes me weed “unhealthy”
I just stopped smoking weed my motivation is SOOOOOOO MUCH DIFFERENT. I’m in love with this new energy I have. Looking back on my life I was lazy af and low energy smoking weed . Shoutout to God
@@alvinavance5040 thank you ❤️ he has!! Today is my tenth day cannabis free and eighth day tobacco free, done with the power of God walking beside me 🙏
Smoke more sativas and sativa hybrids and you could be high and be way more active and productive! Believe me that's all I smoke! I smoke indica maybe once or twice a year to sleep better! But I never liked that lazy or down feeling! My weed is happy go lucky weed plus it's great for sex! Gets me super horny and super hard! I've gone 5-6 times in a day 2-3 days on my herb! I love it
Seriously kids, too much of anything is a path to self-destruction ... find your center ... chill out and walk in nature with a sober mind! Much love to everyone, stay strong
I quit a 30 year weed habit a year ago. I never thought i could become such a quick, decisive and clear thinker and communicator. My life has become much easier.
6 months now and I dont like it. Repetitive manual labor is so much easier high. Makes the day go by faster too. I miss it everyday and wish the laws would change. I would laugh, enjoy movies, video games, and food way more.
@@kaesarjones6598 hes right though. also, how are you gonna judge people for using cannabis to ease emotional distress. you know thats a whole ass reason its prescribed medically in the first place. but yeah. ur right, just using cannabis socially to laugh at mundane shit is far superior. its not avoid accepting emotions, its that feeling of finally having control over your mind. people that dont have anxiety/depression/adhd/ptsd dont understand this, but when you have an actual chemical imbalance in your brain, it is in fact NOT mind over matter. there is no fake it til you make it. i have been depressed for 9 years, and ive tried every trick in the book. ive seen therapists, tried medication, exercised, eaten healthy, etc. ive accepted my emotions. but that doesnt mean those psychological disorders suddenly disappear stop spreading ignorance m8
like, sometimes i just like to be able to eat and not feel physical symptoms of anxiety is all lmao sorry i dont just smoke to get 'lit 💨💨🍁🌲😎' like u bro
@@jaserhodesaudio3318 Smoking weed to avoid emotions is fucking terrible man. It stops you from needing to ever confront how you feel. Then when you find yourself sober and feeling a whole bunch of emotions that you havent learnt to deal with youll just turn to weed again. Medication is really a last ditch effort (or at most a supplementary method) for any psychological/emotional issues
@Hunter or you were already predisposed to get it anyway, you just needed a little nudge. The nudge being drugs... You can get derealization depersonalization without drugs as well, I'm pretty sure it's a disorder.
Being mildly high feels like being the truest version of myself, not super stoned but just enough to where I just feel comfortable expressing my thoughts and existing in the world as I am, without having to change anything about myself to be worthy. I can also focus for MUCH longer periods of time as well, so sometimes I use it to get things done. I’ve tried to replicate the same mindset sober, but it never compares
i know exactly what you mean, unfortunatly to feel like that requires to always maintian some level of thc injestion constantly which feels like i have a problem lol. But i also feel like the best version of myself and others agree as well lol.
As a person who has depression and anxiety disorders. Daily edibles at night before bed seems to work wonders for me. Don't t smoke during the day, only before bed to help sleep and relieve my constant tension. The neck pain is terrible at times. Also I don't get angry as quickly anymore 😅... But it is good to practice moderation
The real trip is finding out our truest selves. Most people have put on so many masks and cloaks that have molded their “persona”, that their true self is hidden deep within. That’s what the next life is for.
@@bakedpotato420 do u have adhd? I often used low dose weed as medication for my adhd when I ran out of pills and it works the exact same. Daily edibles probably level out your dopamine just like ritalin or adderal
@@joeyvitale3241 I was diagnosed with adhd as a child. Never took any meds, as my parents were against it at the time. As an adult I'm not really sure. I still have symptoms of adhd, but not as bad as when I was a kid. So you could be right, but I can't say with certainty. But you definitely could be onto something
I’m on a short 20-year break from weed. 8 years in the Navy so far and I can already afford to buy a house or anything I want. Once I hit my 20-year mark and retire, it’ll be the greatest bong rip ever!
secularsailor “a short 20 year break” I hope this is some sort of joke. You realize that’s about 1/4 of your whole life maybe even 1/3. Not worth it imo
Shaggy Some of us value a career more than being a constant burnout. It won’t hurt me to wait another 12 years to smoke again. I love my job as an FC and I’ll retire as one. Good luck to you in all your travels.
I absolutely agree and admire your choice. Have a very similar vision myself as I think weed is wonderful, but will be way more enjoyable later on as a great reward - knowing I've taken effort to live with purpose and presence.
secularsailor hey that’s cool man I respect that. I’m in the same boat, got a job with BMW lined up time to sober my ass up for a while. Good luck in your travels as well
I'm a veteran, alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
Killa Cal totally true. It’s no longer a new experience, or a reward or a stress reliever or whatever you use it for. It’s just reality. Makes it boring.
Almost 2 weeks clean from meth and heroin! Got a job and a stable place. Life has been a struggle but I'm doing better and I know I'll feel better as time progresses with my journey in sobriety. Love the podcast
That’s awesome girl can I ask how u get into those type of drugs? I think I heard in the middle states it’s quite common but when we r growing up I think we r all told that heroin and meth is like don’t even try it u kno just curious how this became did u think it was gonna be a 1 time thing or were u not happy in life happy u r sober and this post is 4 months ago so hope ur still kickin butt u r very beautiful and hard drugs can really hurt that so keep ur beautiful face and keep being sober and hope life gives u everything u have want
Same with one of my buddies when we both worked at McDicks. I knew he was a stoner, but didn't care because he still got his work done (not only got it done, but he was one of the best, like top 5 we had). In fact, I told him (and all my stoner buddies) when I got promoted "Do whatever the fuck you want. Just get your work done. Show up high, show up drunk, just don't make it obvious, or I'll have to send you home if anyone finds out/it effects your performance." Only 1 time I had to send any of them home. I thought he got too baked one day. Next time we hung out he was like "Hey, remember last week when you sent me home for being too high?" "Yeah?" "Yeah. I was sober. I ran out and my dealer was out too." "Well from now on, if you're not able to get high before work, you better call in sick."
@@dbone3356 i understand your reasoning for telling them that, but that's bad advice in general. Be careful is all im saying.. i was told once to call out if I wasnt high and it is what started my downward spiral into self doubt and not much self worth. When it clicked that I was only valuable when I was high, being high became my only goal. Like Dennis said, I lost my center and didn't want to meet my sober self. I'm different of course but still 👍
Cadowyn wow you had a unique child/parent relationship. My parents went with “if you ever touch any drug or alcohol you will get your ass kicked and then be homeless. I didn’t doubt that threat at all!
For anyone under the age of 25 reading this: DONT SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY! I used to in high school/college and now I wish I hadn't. My memory (short and long term) is not so good. While my life is still pretty decent and I obtained my degree in engineering, I just feel as though a lot of my habits such as eating healthy, cleanliness, handling responsibilities etc. have been slow to develop. You should learn how to handle all of these things in a sober state before implementing weed into your routine.
When I quit weed, I started feeling like a kid again. Not the immaturity or anything, but the sensations, like looking at the trees and clouds with wonder. Then I realized, when I was a kid I didn't smoke weed, so it makes sense.
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to cocaine. Spent my whole life fighting cocaine addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Cocaine addiction actually destroyed my life. Not until my son recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
if im getting a ride to and from work... and im going to be gone from home for 8+ hours im getting high a little atleast before i leave! doesnt mean they are braindead retarded; if their job matters atleast!?
Joe Rogan and his podcasts got me sober not rehab not jail not responsibilities not losing my condo or crashing my car or losing my job or my family. Owe this man my life. Thank you Joe Rogan!
I smoked almost every day for about 3 years straight. Even though it was a good way to feel relaxed and it helped with creativity when writing music and stuff, I came to find that it made me feel more disconnected from reality overall, which caused me a lot of anxiety. I could function just fine on it, but it always made me feel like I was on another plane of existence. Now that im not smoking, I am less nervous being around others, and have luckily found some sense of joy in that somewhat comparable to the feeling of being high. Of course, I always long for that heady buzz, but there is something special about not being high and still being able to enjoy life. It definitely gives me more of a sense of confidence. I hope I can use that confidence to actually move forward in life instead of being content in stasis.
I joined the army at 30 years old, before that i played ball but smoked weed everyday and found life was so much better without it. Im sure its good in small amounts from time to time but like anything its not good for you . My lung capacity improved so much without it.
+Fergal Quinn me to brotha just quit a week ago also because i took antibiotics and im to scared to smoke while i take this meds but im not gonna smoke anytime soon untill im 20-22 im 17 now i started when i was 14 so i wanna give my brain a break to recover i smoked everyday untill now i got so terrefied of my problems without weed im fearless and with weed im a pussy so..
420 I know what you mean I started around 15 and would smoke for two weeks and then not for a week, smoke for a week and not for a three weeks. But something would always happen and I'd always end up getting more even when I knew that when I was high I'd be paranoid, my heart would be racing and I just wouldn't feel good at all. You just gotta realise what's right for you. If you want to smoke occasionally, or if you want to smoke every day, or if you never want to smoke again, it's all fine as long as you feel good and your mind is in the right place
+Fergal Quinn anyway i got the same symptoms like you are you feeling normal again after quitting? By that i mean not paranoid or scared and stuf like that
I was in the same place pal, quit for 2 years and started again a couple months ago. Now that ive matured (21) its easier to balance my lifestyle, i can stop and start whenever i like 😁 i think the issue was more so an addictive personality than the actual weed itself
Your best off with a balanced and neutral state of mind. But, it can get boring in the long run, and that's why having a fling or do some heavy lifting in the gym can put you in an awesome and fast state of mind! Just like your flying without a care in the world. Honestly, there's not much better but of course, you can't keep doing that over a long haul.
It the compulsive desire to control and alter our moods and emotions. We are afraid of feeling anything, but you can't stuff it forever. It comes back as depression, anger, cancer, and addiction.
My recovery journey was greatly enhanced by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT and LSD have also proven to be remarkable.
I dont find that to be the case for weed. Whenever I get to the point of weed use where I feel like shit without being stoned I always have another cone and think "god damn this sucks I gotta get off it for a bit"
what weak mind, i don’t understand how people can do this for a feeling you get for a few hours when you can work towards ur life get rich & leave something for your generations 🧬 to come
I'd say I smoke marijuana once a week, it really unlocks some portions of my brain for decision making and it helps me to make the best decisions. But then I need to apply them so I go sober for 6 days. This recipe made me a dentist and a fast learner
Nice I believe you, at first my subconscious ego told me immediately yea right not to believe you, but I now realize it's because it wants to stay in control and be comfortable. I wish you every bit of success broo
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporesss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
It's the same for me also, I usually go on a binge but when I stop having these crazy dreams I start taking again and it's the same story, haven't found anything about that on the net.
luis velasquez yoooooooo I was wondering why I was having those crazy fuckin dreams but never thought it was cause I haven't been smoking. I've smoked for a good part of my adult life so far, than went cold turkey wen I moved states an since I've moved I have been getting crazy dreams, trippy
VanBikeSkiandFish Boilermaker yeah but not everyone can afford that luxury. I get bare lazy when I’m high so I only use it in my free time when I’m just chilling at home
@@critNnn if you grow smoking becomes a very cheap hobby. It really comes down to if you as an individual are capable of being productive while high. Most people struggle with this, for some reason my productivity isnt hindered by weed. In college I would smoke while I studied, or even before exams and would do fine. That being said, I have to avoid alcohol/beer because it is a problem for me. It's about knowing your body and how you individually react.
BOT criteNn learn what strains you are smoking. I've never heard anyone say they felt lazy on a sativa. people aren't educated enough about strains, then make blanket statements like "weed makes me lazy" when one strain they smoke puts them in a certain mood. That would be like conplaining about cough medicine not helping with your headache. All meds are different
I’ve known this and have been slowly accepting it more and more. I’ve been on a non elective tbreak for almost a month and Sober me was the only dude who could really see that I gotta get started on my life. I’m not a burnout, but the beer and weed partying phase is coming to an end. Chronic me would be more than happy getting 12$/hour to buy some bud and eat out with friends five times a week with the security of having no bills (I live with dope family). Anyone out there also in their 20’s don’t get anxious about being accomplished or set up right now, but dude don’t let your time slip by unused and wasted. I don’t wanna have to give you dollars on the street, I wanna see you there when we’ve both made it.
So true joe. I went through it myself. 24:7 pot smoking for the whole pandemic, up until a few weeks ago. I feel so clear and have genuine emotions... there’s nothing like just being in your own skin. Cannabis can be very harmful if abused and I feel like more people need to realize this. Just because it’s not as bad as certain drugs, doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful if abused. Cheers
I just wanna say I did the same thing and life is a whole lot better. Kids please stay away from weed smoke it the odd time but once you get into it it will take some time to get out and even if you want to quit it will not help. The only way I quit was my life got so bad I was in my room all day dropped out of school for a year just take that into consideration if your thinking about smoking weed
@@PoPFartzUnlimited it’s a world of difference once you stop smoking, I was smoking everyday 24/7 I’m on day 8 of no weed and I’ve just wish I could of learned early on how powerful the drug of weed is on the human drain If abused. I’m still a strong believer that anything is good in moderation.
@@connorreagan952 hey man is smoking 3-4 a week bad after working hard? Also I need some motivation cause I could stop weed but it’s an addiction. Any advice
@@Ajayzmma Hey man, I've struggled with weed addiction myself. I find the only way to have a healthy relationship with smoking it regularly is to use it only at night, it takes alot of will power but as much as stoners hate to admit it's addictive and can really change you as a person so it's best to not let it control you. Finding something to keep you from being bored helps as I found I smoked mainly because I was bored. You'll also find if you wait all day to smoke it'll hit you harder, it's really nice waiting until the evening for your first smoke if you have the willpower to do so. I believe if you can hold down your job and pay your bills then you've got a healthy enough relationship with weed, but everyone's different at the end of the day
@@Ekrooool yeah bro I agree, I train martial arts and wanna become pro. But weed kinda has taken over me since my family are stoners I know I could get out of it only do like 2-3 a week but it is addicting I can’t lie. And yes it feels good having it after a long day I would like to cut back tho
30 yrs veteran pot head here. I’ve learned that tolerance break for me is a must like a week or 9 months off, it all depends how I feel when that time comes. I’ve also learned to just lay off it now during the day and only dab on nights once a week nightime less is always more now w my tolerance plus I’m saving hella money because of this. Don’t be a slave to cannabis use it as a tool don’t let it run your life. 💯
I only smoke in the evenings a few hours before I go to sleep. This way smoking seems like a reward and I can get all the shit done that I need to each day, and look forward to chilling out at night. As a bonus I get that "Stoneover" vibe the following day which keeps me calm and in a good mood, but doesn't make me feel lazy or lacking in motivation.
Yeah, and eventually you'll be low, low low... trying to feel normal, feeling low again in matter of hours. At some point, it's never enough Baseline dopamine will get lower than you would have, when you keep going for the "high" (reward), and that's when you become dull, and everything becomes boring.
The mom in Six Feet Under said weed is like spice, a little bit here and there makes things tasty, but too much ruins everything Balance, as in all things
This is what pot smokers need and want. We want an open honest discussion. We don't want scare tactics forced upon us because we know they are bullshit. pot smokers will agree it's not all good, we just need to talk about it more if we want to understand it properly
Scott I'm a little late to this discussion I understand and I can see where your coming from.... but for one thing it kinda does cover a lot of bases... I used it for back pain (I'm a roofer...), Sleep, Depression and Anxiety... Unfortunately my gf who I am crazy about doesn't understand it being used like that, not that she's against weed totally, but believes its entirely recreational and you shouldn't do it all the time. So because she absolutely means more then drug then i've quit. I was really hoping that after all this time that maybe if I quit these symptoms wouldn't come back (i'm 30 now), but each and every one of them have(I mean i could get rid of the back pain by taking an easier job, but hey i make bank). My doctor wants to put me on sleeping pills and stuff for the depression and anxiety, but I am leary to start that. I'm not saying it is a cure all, or there are no side effects, but i've had very few. I go into work every day, my employer really likes me, I work hard when i'm at work. But just my two cents...
Blonde Archer definetly man it helps some people to do it all the time and there is nothing wrong with that. Just got to tap into who you are unbiasedly and honestly see what the best routs are for you fr. People just need some real education on marijuana. Literally the best objective documentary ever on it with doctors, chief of police, senators etc. maybe your girl can get some insight >>>>> ua-cam.com/video/PDgdWgbowpY/v-deo.html
Oh it treats some major diseases, especially MS patients. It should be medically legal everywhere. As for the recreational legality, too many issues with demand and supply. Go to Denver and its all concentrates and dabs. Not much good flower inDnver, it takes allot of flower to make concentrates. Shit is expensive. Then in Oregon an ounce is around 80 bucks. Market is flooded which causes quality concerns
@@joenuts9442 it went good, I started smoking again on the 20th day. Not because I wanted to get high but to sleep since I had 4hrs left before a 16hr shift of work. Since then I caught myself smoking more than I said I would. Thankfully I came up with a plan to cut off weed for a month and microdose 🍄 every morning. I’m starting this coming up Monday the 11th.
While you worry about avoiding marijuana, cocaine, alcohol and other drugs, sugar already has you in its grasp. Edit: I typed this while drinking choccy milk
Dank Memes 420 just hit the gym and you’ll crave protein and carbs instead... I used to eat sugary foods all the time and now Im gagging thinking about candy
I'm 19, and have been smoking weed nightly for roughly 10 months, and it has caused me to suffer in my life as a whole. After watching this made me realize that I need to predominantly keep in touch with my sober self, thanks Joe.
If you have normal discipline and a work ethic smoking once a night (maybe 1 week t break here and there) is not bad for you at all, assuming you aren’t getting stoned 10/10. Being max stoned before bed isn’t good, smoke 2-3 hours before bed and enough to make you feel mellow
I’ve stopped when I realized all my relationships were based around weed. Guess what happened when I stopped smoking, all of these “friends” disappeared. Edit: It’s crazy to see how many people relate to this. This is in no way an insult to the smokers or weed in general, this has nothing to do with it. It can be any other activity that people collectively partake in, it’s about the people and their traits.
Elijah Koenigsberg bruh some were dead azz mad at me for quitting. They were slacking in life and when I tried to tell them quitting could be good for them they got defensive af. They eventually started labeling me stuck up as if I’m acting like I got my life together, which I don’t but I’m working on it. I got plans and ambition meanwhile they have to put money together for some brown bud and rolling paper every evening. Idk what it is about us humans that we always feel like we need to drag people into the activities we enjoy. I like the dudes we were friends for years but once the smoke clears you see how immature and unreliable they are.
I had my first joint when I was 14. Started smoking regularly when I was 15 and by the time I was 16 I was smoking so much that I couldn't function without it. About 10-20 hits from a bong daily. I would take my bong to college with me and hit it at break time. I continued this behavior for the next 5 years straight. Luckily I ended up stopping and I always wonder what my life would've been like had I not smoked that much. It definitely made a huge impact on the development of my brain. I'm 25 and still trying to "recover" mentally from those years but almost feel like there are parts of me I can't get back.
Wow. I really respect you for being as strong as you are and letting other people know about that behavior of yours that you had and how it impacted you. I know how it feels like to somke 10-20 Joints a day for a half year. What you experianced is something waayy diffrent. I hope that you can fully recover from what you and your brain have gone trough. Dont forget, even if you loss some things, the experiances you made at that time and even after had a big price therefore they will be of high value. Wish u the best
@@imsasuke9602 thank you for that, it's a great reminder. Everything we go through in life does shape who we are and I am very grateful for every experience, big or small.. All of this right back to you
fuckin hell. good for you, i smoked for 5 months when i was 15 and im still dealing with the effects 4 years later. it really slows ur brain in a mirade of ways
@@callmegary2622 its hard for me to imagine that people still deal with the aftermath from weed. Maybe im juat luck because i never smoked drank or did anything til i was 20
@@imsasuke9602 yea i remember vividly, after smoking for a few weeks a lot, i tried reading a sentence on my computer. and i just struggled so hard, the words and letters were literally mixing with each other, i was becoming dyslexic and i never suffered from that before. During school time i always struggled so much to read a simple paragrpah, stuttering, couldnt finish it. Weed is bad when ur young, its at the very very least as detrimental to the brain as alcohol. I personally think its worse. I still have terrible short term memory problems. I cant remember what to do when i pick a thing up, this happens nearly every time. It also effected me acedemically, i use to be able to do very complicated math in my head, b4 i smoked, id get 95%+ in math. After i smoked, i averaged 70-80% in math and i struggle a lot with mental math. i dont like talking about this because its a reality i try to avoid till this day.
If you’re ever at the point where your friends genuinely can’t tell if you’re high, or if you’re at the point where you don’t get nearly as high as your friends do while you’re smoking with them, then do yourself the favor and take a 10-20 day break. Trust me it’s easier than it seems and it’s more than worth it
I have smoked since I was 17 (25 now), weed harmed me in very aspects of my life. If you smoke everyday I truly believe 20 days is not enough, you need a couple months to clean you and then smoke once in a while. But of course that is hard to do it if you once was an addict. But I get you message , weed can destroy your life if u let it
A 10 day break for me is insane. When I smoke again for the first time it feels like my first time smoking all over again. Even just 2-3 days and it’s way more intense.
Remember that you don’t attract what you want, you attract who you are. So focus on love. Focus on happiness. Focus on feeling fulfilled and like you already have everything you’ve ever wanted. Focus on gratitude. You are a powerful source of energy. When you do this, you will get what you want because you are in alignment and focusing on all you have instead of a lack. Just know you have everything you have ever wanted. It’s already yours . Be joyful! Sending loving energy to you all. ❤️
I started dabbing with concentrate and it kicks my butt. No matter how small of a hit I take, I always get a massive head rush, and I have to grab ahold of the counter and brace myself. I decided that was too much to go through to get high. Not only that, I was getting brain farts while talking to people on a constant basis and/or forgetting what I was doing. I realized that pot isn’t my friend anymore. I’m three weeks out now.
Similar story with me. Smoked to get super high everyday for about 140 days. Even while sober I would stutter terribly when talking to anyone including my own family. My short term memory got so bad that I didn’t remember 90% of what had happened through my day. I’ll be 3 weeks sober in a few days and I already feel so much better. It feels like my brain and thoughts belong to me once again.
Yeah I used to be the biggest advocate for weed ever. Loved it so much. I would be in my element, could talk to anyone with huge confidence, pick up girls etc. After a couple years it became the complete opposite. Anxious, dissociating, overwhelming. I’d become mentally slow during my regular days, all my sentences were basic and didn’t hold much thought. Gave it up two years ago haven’t looked back since. Now I chill with my friends while they smoke and i can just chill with not even the slightest feeling of wanting to smoke. It’s almost as if I’d never smoked weed before
I used to smoke weed EVERYDAY, all day. Bongs, Parachutes, pipes, joints, hotknives, Blunts. It was a "sport" for me. Haven't smoked for over 2 months. It's very true what they said in the video, you tend to get out of touch with your authentic self. That's why I don't agree with the people who say Weed isn't addictive.
When people say weed isn't addictive they are right in the technical sense. Yeah it's not like heroin where it's going to rewire your brain and make you constantly crave it but just like anything in the world that brings joy, do it enough and you'll begin to associate it with pleasure. And if you smoke enough weed you'll begin to think weed makes me happy, instead of I'm happy and I'm going to smoke some weed.
Weed is the most unpredictable, most under estimated and by FAR the most misunderstood form of substance that can be used recreationally with unfortunetally the smallest and stil incompréhensive data base about it an and it’s reactions on every individual human been y
If I play enough basketball and enjoy it enough I'll believe basketball makes me happy, instead of I'm happy so I'm going to play basketball. This is true about anything you enjoy. Anything you enjoy can be addictive, doesnt make it bad
Good for you, but you know what you should do? Take an English class, since you never felt more clearer in your life, I think you’d be able to learn some stuff
Im glad me and joe are on the same page on this. I used to be high 24/7 until i got on probation and thank god i did because i finally got my will power back and now its only once in a while
Smoked for 7 years almost everyday. Also smoked cigs and took adderall for college only. Recently it gave me a panic attack that felt like a seizure. I havent been the same since and have quit it because I was only getting panic out of it, even from the smallest of hits. It also messed with me body, any stimulant gives me panic now even coffee. I had to quit everything, the withdrawl was brutal but completely worth it!!! Being sober and not reliant on anything is such a great feeling. I'm much more motivated, clear headed and successful in life and my financials since quitting. Stop while you're ahead!!
Me too! Im not the only one! Even coffee does it anything literally i get soo paranoid and panicky from everything now iv been smoking for 12 years everyday and i am finally better sober! Much love dude
i started smoking weed when i was 13-14 and i instantly was addicted to chasing after a high. i had no maturity to understand i had to go w out. over the course of 6 years i tried everything and slowly turned into a heroin addict. i never thought i’d b sober but here we are 2 yrs in and i was always that guy to b like no fuck that i should b able to get high/ drink everyday. now that i’ve been able to gain some perspective i couldn’t agree more w this. u shouldn’t b getting fucked up every day at all and it turns self destructive pretty quick
Smoked from like 16 till now (23) and man once I started smoking every day at 18 I literally began to lose my personality and it was replaced by the common stoner one most people have when they get stoned. Was stoned every day wake till sleep and after like 3 years of every day use kind of literally just forgot my old persona. And who I was. Now I can only really laugh and comment, can't go too deep in thought. Fucked me up. Edit: really just sharing my personal experience here, not saying it'll happen to you too, everybodys mind is different
Me 2 bro I’m 22 now and just quit . I’m slowly but surely getting back to my old self . I think weed held me back from the best version of myself . I just was trying to be like Wiz Khalifa
@@StvyWavyTV you're dead right man. Used to be a goal of mine to smoke more weed than anybody I knew. Waste of some golden years and a lot of cash for us for sure but at least you can see the toxicity of over indulging. It's a lesson you'll carry through life and teach your kids. I'm sure you've reached a lot of spiritual milestones that many probably won't until later life
I think when you smoke everyday and get high everyday it’s almost not as special anymore because it just becomes how you feel normally. Just how you were trying to escape how you felt without drugs now you are tying to escape how you feel on drugs and it never gets better unless you and your mind can just be. They can just be.
I love this, very accurate. I used to love smoking so much way back when. I remember the huge feeling of disappointment as time went on, and I started to develop that tolerance and not enjoy it as much anymore, couldn't get REALLY good and stoned like in the VERY beginning, the good old days... Shit sucked, depressing! lol I like what you said about it no longer being as SPECIAL that's totally on point!! My friends and I, our routines and rituals, weekend fun festive feel good smoking care free HAPPY excited.. (can you hear me sigh?!) nothing lasts forever! ☮️
I stopped smoking weed when I was looking for a job and at first it was so hard. Eventually I started up again after about 6 months when I secured my new job. It just didn’t feel right. I had this sense of guilt that was hard to grasp and explain. Fast forward to Nov 11., just a few weeks ago. I decided to quit again. A part of me felt that guilt feeling again, that I’m just wasting my life. Smoking just wasn’t enjoyable anymore and I was going through the motions. Everything just felt artificial. My favorite part of being sober is that the guilt is gone, and I just feel more alive. It is crazy how weed suppresses your emotions, makes you feel numb. You don’t realize it until you stop and feel a rush of natural emotions. I’m starting to workout a ton again and feel overall good. I remember the first time I quit, the withdrawals were brutal. This time around they aren’t really bothering me. My favorite part of being sober is that I can finally dream again and it makes me look forward to sleeping because of that.
Proud of you bro. I’m currently wining myself off after 5 years of daily smoking. The last 2 years I’ve wanted to quit but I’ve been procrastinating because I hate withdrawals but I have gotten to the point that I hate feeling controlled by my marijuana addiction way more then being scared of some withdrawals.
know exactly what you mean by supresses your emotions and when you sober up you feel even worse knowing how certain things didnt even bother you that should have when you were constantly high and mainly with family once your sober you see how not present you were that whole time its a sobering feeling in itself
Thank you for this. Thought i was alone. It was starting to consume me a little bit, had a hard time trying to differentiate dreams from reality. Thank you so much Joe.
@Perry Conrad Its not about tolerance, its about no longer viewing it as a social activity and instead doing it to pass time when youre by yourself. Its like learning that your close friend has been getting pissed drunk by himself every night before going to sleep. You think that person is a horribly addicted alcoholic.
@Perry Conrad I am a weed user, used to smoke everyday from like 4pm till i fell asleep, wake up at 12pm and do it again. I was speaking in terms of alcohol because thats been more prevalent and talked about in terms of abuse. The moment I realised I had a problem with weed was the moment I realised I wasnt using it for enjoyment and was instead using it to feel ok when im by myself. And that I got to that point by using it just chilling in my room by myself
@Perry Conrad hahah fair. Even in my country we had it "eradicated" for like 3 months and just found multiple new cases with no links to overseas travel so were back in partial lockdown. Dangerous times, disinfect ya bongs
Explain this thought a little more.. I prefer to smoke by myself. For years I have pondered if its hindering me... I really dont know. What did you mean though ?
This made me feel so much better. I usually take edibles about 4 or 5 times a week but thought that was too much. Now I understand I'm doing it in a more healthy way. I only ever take them at night like 3 hours before bed and have yet to get out of my mind with paranoia. I'm never high during the day. It's only when I'm done for the day and have nothing else to do but relax
As someone who's been smoking nearly daily for the past 6 months, this was very enlightening. Being able to use these substances as medicine or as a reward for hard work instead of pacifying myself was something I needed.
Only a seasoned veteran of pot abuse can fully grasp how important this really is, after many years of this habit, you start to notice how easily Jane came under your skin with out even noticing, and then you fight full force to defend it even though the relationship became toxic and counterproductive.
The Rambler idk I learned from my dad, he started smoking when he was 12 and is still at 46, I started when I was 16 and am 17 now. Who cares if I'm on denial if I am enjoying myself, isn't that all there is to life? To enjoy yourself.

Positive: smoking socially to giggle at ridiculous stuff.
Negative: smoking to avoid accepting your emotions and experiences you dislike.
Real shit
@Otie Jason Do you need to smoke to not sound like such an asshole?
@@kaesarjones6598 hes right though.
also, how are you gonna judge people for using cannabis to ease emotional distress.
you know thats a whole ass reason its prescribed medically in the first place.
but yeah. ur right, just using cannabis socially to laugh at mundane shit is far superior.
its not avoid accepting emotions, its that feeling of finally having control over your mind. people that dont have anxiety/depression/adhd/ptsd dont understand this, but when you have an actual chemical imbalance in your brain, it is in fact NOT mind over matter. there is no fake it til you make it. i have been depressed for 9 years, and ive tried every trick in the book. ive seen therapists, tried medication, exercised, eaten healthy, etc. ive accepted my emotions. but that doesnt mean those psychological disorders suddenly disappear

@Hunter or you were already predisposed to get it anyway, you just needed a little nudge. The nudge being drugs... You can get derealization depersonalization without drugs as well, I'm pretty sure it's a disorder.
Being mildly high feels like being the truest version of myself, not super stoned but just enough to where I just feel comfortable expressing my thoughts and existing in the world as I am, without having to change anything about myself to be worthy. I can also focus for MUCH longer periods of time as well, so sometimes I use it to get things done. I’ve tried to replicate the same mindset sober, but it never compares
i know exactly what you mean, unfortunatly to feel like that requires to always maintian some level of thc injestion constantly which feels like i have a problem lol. But i also feel like the best version of myself and others agree as well lol.
As a person who has depression and anxiety disorders. Daily edibles at night before bed seems to work wonders for me. Don't t smoke during the day, only before bed to help sleep and relieve my constant tension. The neck pain is terrible at times. Also I don't get angry as quickly anymore 😅... But it is good to practice moderation
The real trip is finding out our truest selves. Most people have put on so many masks and cloaks that have molded their “persona”, that their true self is hidden deep within. That’s what the next life is for.

I’m on a short 20-year break from weed. 8 years in the Navy so far and I can already afford to buy a house or anything I want. Once I hit my 20-year mark and retire, it’ll be the greatest bong rip ever!
Respect!
secularsailor “a short 20 year break” I hope this is some sort of joke. You realize that’s about 1/4 of your whole life maybe even 1/3. Not worth it imo
Shaggy Some of us value a career more than being a constant burnout. It won’t hurt me to wait another 12 years to smoke again. I love my job as an FC and I’ll retire as one. Good luck to you in all your travels.
I absolutely agree and admire your choice. Have a very similar vision myself as I think weed is wonderful, but will be way more enjoyable later on as a great reward - knowing I've taken effort to live with purpose and presence.

I'm a veteran, alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏🏻
YES very sure of mycologist Benmycology. This treatment worked for me. Helped me got rid of my anxiety and BPD.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.

Same with one of my buddies when we both worked at McDicks. I knew he was a stoner, but didn't care because he still got his work done (not only got it done, but he was one of the best, like top 5 we had). In fact, I told him (and all my stoner buddies) when I got promoted "Do whatever the fuck you want. Just get your work done. Show up high, show up drunk, just don't make it obvious, or I'll have to send you home if anyone finds out/it effects your performance." Only 1 time I had to send any of them home. I thought he got too baked one day. Next time we hung out he was like "Hey, remember last week when you sent me home for being too high?" "Yeah?" "Yeah. I was sober. I ran out and my dealer was out too." "Well from now on, if you're not able to get high before work, you better call in sick."
@@dbone3356 i understand your reasoning for telling them that, but that's bad advice in general.

I smoked almost every day for about 3 years straight. Even though it was a good way to feel relaxed and it helped with creativity when writing music and stuff, I came to find that it made me feel more disconnected from reality overall, which caused me a lot of anxiety. I could function just fine on it, but it always made me feel like I was on another plane of existence. Now that im not smoking, I am less nervous being around others, and have luckily found some sense of joy in that somewhat comparable to the feeling of being high. Of course, I always long for that heady buzz, but there is something special about not being high and still being able to enjoy life. It definitely gives me more of a sense of confidence. I hope I can use that confidence to actually move forward in life instead of being content in stasis.

420 I know what you mean I started around 15 and would smoke for two weeks and then not for a week, smoke for a week and not for a three weeks. But something would always happen and I'd always end up getting more even when I knew that when I was high I'd be paranoid, my heart would be racing and I just wouldn't feel good at all. You just gotta realise what's right for you. If you want to smoke occasionally, or if you want to smoke every day, or if you never want to smoke again, it's all fine as long as you feel good and your mind is in the right place
+Fergal Quinn anyway i got the same symptoms like you are you feeling normal again after quitting? By that i mean not paranoid or scared and stuf like that
I was in the same place pal, quit for 2 years and started again a couple months ago. Now that ive matured (21) its easier to balance my lifestyle, i can stop and start whenever i like 😁 i think the issue was more so an addictive personality than the actual weed itself

yup
yea
Yup and I've seen people struggling to quit weed becauss of that. It's hard to face reality after years of being high 24/7
I'd say I smoke marijuana once a week, it really unlocks some portions of my brain for decision making and it helps me to make the best decisions. But then I need to apply them so I go sober for 6 days. This recipe made me a dentist and a fast learner
Damn that’s my goal 🌟

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporesss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.

When you quit, get ready for some crazy dreams ! 💤🌀
luis velasquez so weird how I've been sober for about a month and during that time I've been having the weirdest dreams eve since.
Charlie Lean honestly i look forward to the dreams, I feel like it's a whole new drug. Lol
It's the same for me also, I usually go on a binge but when I stop having these crazy dreams I start taking again and it's the same story, haven't found anything about that on the net.
luis velasquez yoooooooo I was wondering why I was having those crazy fuckin dreams but never thought it was cause I haven't been smoking. I've smoked for a good part of my adult life so far, than went cold turkey wen I moved states an since I've moved I have been getting crazy dreams, trippy
Yah You ! Yeah man pretty crazy huh. So real it feels like it's really happening
Smoke when your done with your day and can wind down...video games and marijuana is lovely
Having a highly productive day while being stoned all day is lovely too
VanBikeSkiandFish Boilermaker yeah but not everyone can afford that luxury. I get bare lazy when I’m high so I only use it in my free time when I’m just chilling at home
@@critNnn if you grow smoking becomes a very cheap hobby. It really comes down to if you as an individual are capable of being productive while high. Most people struggle with this, for some reason my productivity isnt hindered by weed. In college I would smoke while I studied, or even before exams and would do fine. That being said, I have to avoid alcohol/beer because it is a problem for me. It's about knowing your body and how you individually react.
@@vanbikeskiandfishboilermak1516 I can respect that, but atm, I can't be productive so I have to limit myself.
BOT criteNn learn what strains you are smoking. I've never heard anyone say they felt lazy on a sativa. people aren't educated enough about strains, then make blanket statements like "weed makes me lazy" when one strain they smoke puts them in a certain mood. That would be like conplaining about cough medicine not helping with your headache. All meds are different

So true joe. I went through it myself. 24:7 pot smoking for the whole pandemic, up until a few weeks ago. I feel so clear and have genuine emotions... there’s nothing like just being in your own skin. Cannabis can be very harmful if abused and I feel like more people need to realize this. Just because it’s not as bad as certain drugs, doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful if abused. Cheers
I just wanna say I did the same thing and life is a whole lot better. Kids please stay away from weed smoke it the odd time but once you get into it it will take some time to get out and even if you want to quit it will not help. The only way I quit was my life got so bad I was in my room all day dropped out of school for a year just take that into consideration if your thinking about smoking weed
@@PoPFartzUnlimited it’s a world of difference once you stop smoking, I was smoking everyday 24/7 I’m on day 8 of no weed and I’ve just wish I could of learned early on how powerful the drug of weed is on the human drain If abused. I’m still a strong believer that anything is good in moderation.
@@connorreagan952 hey man is smoking 3-4 a week bad after working hard? Also I need some motivation cause I could stop weed but it’s an addiction. Any advice
@@Ajayzmma Hey man, I've struggled with weed addiction myself. I find the only way to have a healthy relationship with smoking it regularly is to use it only at night, it takes alot of will power but as much as stoners hate to admit it's addictive and can really change you as a person so it's best to not let it control you. Finding something to keep you from being bored helps as I found I smoked mainly because I was bored. You'll also find if you wait all day to smoke it'll hit you harder, it's really nice waiting until the evening for your first smoke if you have the willpower to do so. I believe if you can hold down your job and pay your bills then you've got a healthy enough relationship with weed, but everyone's different at the end of the day
@@Ekrooool yeah bro I agree, I train martial arts and wanna become pro. But weed kinda has taken over me since my family are stoners I know I could get out of it only do like 2-3 a week but it is addicting I can’t lie. And yes it feels good having it after a long day I would like to cut back tho
30 yrs veteran pot head here. I’ve learned that tolerance break for me is a must like a week or 9 months off, it all depends how I feel when that time comes. I’ve also learned to just lay off it now during the day and only dab on nights once a week nightime less is always more now w my tolerance plus I’m saving hella money because of this. Don’t be a slave to cannabis use it as a tool don’t let it run your life. 💯

I only smoke in the evenings a few hours before I go to sleep. This way smoking seems like a reward and I can get all the shit done that I need to each day, and look forward to chilling out at night. As a bonus I get that "Stoneover" vibe the following day which keeps me calm and in a good mood, but doesn't make me feel lazy or lacking in motivation.
I just can't do that man, i keep trying but when i finish school and get home i'm bored as fuck and need to smoke a joint..
yeah this works well for me
I noticed i started doing it more and more during the day tho so i had to take a week break
I respect that brother.
For some reason whenever I'd get high the night before....the following day I would fuck up at work EVERYTIME.
Same here. I smoke to get a good relaxing sleep and I smoke to enhance my appetite
If you’re always high, you’re never high

Yeah, and eventually you'll be low, low low... trying to feel normal, feeling low again in matter of hours. At some point, it's never enough

This is what pot smokers need and want. We want an open honest discussion. We don't want scare tactics forced upon us because we know they are bullshit. pot smokers will agree it's not all good, we just need to talk about it more if we want to understand it properly
balf1111117373 i quit smoking it and hate smokers that act like there are no side effects
Scott
I'm a little late to this discussion I understand and I can see where your coming from.... but for one thing it kinda does cover a lot of bases... I used it for back pain (I'm a roofer...), Sleep, Depression and Anxiety... Unfortunately my gf who I am crazy about doesn't understand it being used like that, not that she's against weed totally, but believes its entirely recreational and you shouldn't do it all the time. So because she absolutely means more then drug then i've quit. I was really hoping that after all this time that maybe if I quit these symptoms wouldn't come back (i'm 30 now), but each and every one of them have(I mean i could get rid of the back pain by taking an easier job, but hey i make bank). My doctor wants to put me on sleeping pills and stuff for the depression and anxiety, but I am leary to start that. I'm not saying it is a cure all, or there are no side effects, but i've had very few. I go into work every day, my employer really likes me, I work hard when i'm at work. But just my two cents...
Blonde Archer definetly man it helps some people to do it all the time and there is nothing wrong with that. Just got to tap into who you are unbiasedly and honestly see what the best routs are for you fr. People just need some real education on marijuana. Literally the best objective documentary ever on it with doctors, chief of police, senators etc. maybe your girl can get some insight >>>>> ua-cam.com/video/PDgdWgbowpY/v-deo.html
Oh it treats some major diseases, especially MS patients. It should be medically legal everywhere. As for the recreational legality, too many issues with demand and supply. Go to Denver and its all concentrates and dabs. Not much good flower inDnver, it takes allot of flower to make concentrates. Shit is expensive. Then in Oregon an ounce is around 80 bucks. Market is flooded which causes quality concerns

If you have normal discipline and a work ethic smoking once a night (maybe 1 week t break here and there) is not bad for you at all, assuming you aren’t getting stoned 10/10. Being max stoned before bed isn’t good, smoke 2-3 hours before bed and enough to make you feel mellow
Also, edibles high are far superior than smoking. Smoking is too heady of a high
Smoking everyday will eventually give you deep depression. It sucks

I’ve stopped when I realized all my relationships were based around weed. Guess what happened when I stopped smoking, all of these “friends” disappeared.
Edit: It’s crazy to see how many people relate to this. This is in no way an insult to the smokers or weed in general, this has nothing to do with it. It can be any other activity that people collectively partake in, it’s about the people and their traits.
Not a smoker but you're so true
That's crazy g might do the same:/
wow that’s crazy i’m taking my first t break in 3 years of smoking and i wouldn’t be surprised to have the same thing happen tbh
Elijah Koenigsberg bruh some were dead azz mad at me for quitting. They were slacking in life and when I tried to tell them quitting could be good for them they got defensive af. They eventually started labeling me stuck up as if I’m acting like I got my life together, which I don’t but I’m working on it. I got plans and ambition meanwhile they have to put money together for some brown bud and rolling paper every evening. Idk what it is about us humans that we always feel like we need to drag people into the activities we enjoy. I like the dudes we were friends for years but once the smoke clears you see how immature and unreliable they are.

I had my first joint when I was 14. Started smoking regularly when I was 15 and by the time I was 16 I was smoking so much that I couldn't function without it. About 10-20 hits from a bong daily. I would take my bong to college with me and hit it at break time. I continued this behavior for the next 5 years straight.
Luckily I ended up stopping and I always wonder what my life would've been like had I not smoked that much.
It definitely made a huge impact on the development of my brain.
I'm 25 and still trying to "recover" mentally from those years but almost feel like there are parts of me I can't get back.
Wow. I really respect you for being as strong as you are and letting other people know about that behavior of yours that you had and how it impacted you. I know how it feels like to somke 10-20 Joints a day for a half year. What you experianced is something waayy diffrent. I hope that you can fully recover from what you and your brain have gone trough. Dont forget, even if you loss some things, the experiances you made at that time and even after had a big price therefore they will be of high value. Wish u the best

@@imsasuke9602 yea i remember vividly, after smoking for a few weeks a lot, i tried reading a sentence on my computer. and i just struggled so hard, the words and letters were literally mixing with each other, i was becoming dyslexic and i never suffered from that before. During school time i always struggled so much to read a simple paragrpah, stuttering, couldnt finish it.
Weed is bad when ur young, its at the very very least as detrimental to the brain as alcohol. I personally think its worse. I still have terrible short term memory problems. I cant remember what to do when i pick a thing up, this happens nearly every time. It also effected me acedemically, i use to be able to do very complicated math in my head, b4 i smoked, id get 95%+ in math. After i smoked, i averaged 70-80% in math and i struggle a lot with mental math. i dont like talking about this because its a reality i try to avoid till this day.
If you’re ever at the point where your friends genuinely can’t tell if you’re high, or if you’re at the point where you don’t get nearly as high as your friends do while you’re smoking with them, then do yourself the favor and take a 10-20 day break. Trust me it’s easier than it seems and it’s more than worth it
I have smoked since I was 17 (25 now), weed harmed me in very aspects of my life. If you smoke everyday I truly believe 20 days is not enough, you need a couple months to clean you and then smoke once in a while. But of course that is hard to do it if you once was an addict. But I get you message , weed can destroy your life if u let it
A 10 day break for me is insane. When I smoke again for the first time it feels like my first time smoking all over again. Even just 2-3 days and it’s way more intense.
@@flookie6283 if that’s how you feel after 3 days imagine how high you’ll feel after 10

I started dabbing with concentrate and it kicks my butt. No matter how small of a hit I take, I always get a massive head rush, and I have to grab ahold of the counter and brace myself. I decided that was too much to go through to get high. Not only that, I was getting brain farts while talking to people on a constant basis and/or forgetting what I was doing. I realized that pot isn’t my friend anymore. I’m three weeks out now.
Similar story with me. Smoked to get super high everyday for about 140 days. Even while sober I would stutter terribly when talking to anyone including my own family. My short term memory got so bad that I didn’t remember 90% of what had happened through my day. I’ll be 3 weeks sober in a few days and I already feel so much better. It feels like my brain and thoughts belong to me once again.
I smoked 3 ounces of shatter in half a year and now it doesn’t do shit to me, I can only smoke bud to get high lmfao
Yeah I used to be the biggest advocate for weed ever. Loved it so much. I would be in my element, could talk to anyone with huge confidence, pick up girls etc. After a couple years it became the complete opposite. Anxious, dissociating, overwhelming. I’d become mentally slow during my regular days, all my sentences were basic and didn’t hold much thought. Gave it up two years ago haven’t looked back since. Now I chill with my friends while they smoke and i can just chill with not even the slightest feeling of wanting to smoke. It’s almost as if I’d never smoked weed before
I'm sorry to hear that, have you tried going flower route, through a joint or glass pipe?
Good job
I used to smoke weed EVERYDAY, all day. Bongs, Parachutes, pipes, joints, hotknives, Blunts. It was a "sport" for me. Haven't smoked for over 2 months.

When people say weed isn't addictive they are right in the technical sense. Yeah it's not like heroin where it's going to rewire your brain and make you constantly crave it but just like anything in the world that brings joy, do it enough and you'll begin to associate it with pleasure. And if you smoke enough weed you'll begin to think weed makes me happy, instead of I'm happy and I'm going to smoke some weed.
Weed is the most unpredictable, most under estimated and by FAR the most misunderstood form of substance that can be used recreationally with unfortunetally the smallest and stil incompréhensive data base about it an and it’s reactions on every individual human been y

@@StvyWavyTV you're dead right man. Used to be a goal of mine to smoke more weed than anybody I knew. Waste of some golden years and a lot of cash for us for sure but at least you can see the toxicity of over indulging. It's a lesson you'll carry through life and teach your kids. I'm sure you've reached a lot of spiritual milestones that many probably won't until later life
I think when you smoke everyday and get high everyday it’s almost not as special anymore because it just becomes how you feel normally. Just how you were trying to escape how you felt without drugs now you are tying to escape how you feel on drugs and it never gets better unless you and your mind can just be. They can just be.
It becomes a new sober
Facts.
Shits hard man
Exactly how I feel
I love this, very accurate. I used to love smoking so much way back when. I remember the huge feeling of disappointment as time went on, and I started to develop that tolerance and not enjoy it as much anymore, couldn't get REALLY good and stoned like in the VERY beginning, the good old days...
Shit sucked, depressing! lol
I like what you said about it no longer being as SPECIAL that's totally on point!! My friends and I, our routines and rituals, weekend fun festive feel good smoking care free HAPPY excited..
(can you hear me sigh?!)
nothing lasts forever! ☮️
I stopped smoking weed when I was looking for a job and at first it was so hard. Eventually I started up again after about 6 months when I secured my new job. It just didn’t feel right. I had this sense of guilt that was hard to grasp and explain. Fast forward to Nov 11., just a few weeks ago. I decided to quit again. A part of me felt that guilt feeling again, that I’m just wasting my life. Smoking just wasn’t enjoyable anymore and I was going through the motions. Everything just felt artificial. My favorite part of being sober is that the guilt is gone, and I just feel more alive. It is crazy how weed suppresses your emotions, makes you feel numb. You don’t realize it until you stop and feel a rush of natural emotions. I’m starting to workout a ton again and feel overall good. I remember the first time I quit, the withdrawals were brutal. This time around they aren’t really bothering me. My favorite part of being sober is that I can finally dream again and it makes me look forward to sleeping because of that.
Proud of you bro. I’m currently wining myself off after 5 years of daily smoking. The last 2 years I’ve wanted to quit but I’ve been procrastinating because I hate withdrawals but I have gotten to the point that I hate feeling controlled by my marijuana addiction way more then being scared of some withdrawals.
Same ❤
My dreams are wacky and scarry at times since I stopped haven't really dreamed since I been high for almost 20 years
know exactly what you mean by supresses your emotions and when you sober up you feel even worse knowing how certain things didnt even bother you that should have when you were constantly high and mainly with family once your sober you see how not present you were that whole time its a sobering feeling in itself
I'm in permanent rem rebound after quitting
Thank you for this. Thought i was alone. It was starting to consume me a little bit, had a hard time trying to differentiate dreams from reality.
Thank you so much Joe.
THAT HAPPENED TO ME TO I CANT TELL WHAT IS REAL ANYMORE
i like that feeling
Honestly from personal experience I feel like once u cross that barrier of being comfortable with smoking by yourself it all changes
@Perry Conrad Its not about tolerance, its about no longer viewing it as a social activity and instead doing it to pass time when youre by yourself. Its like learning that your close friend has been getting pissed drunk by himself every night before going to sleep. You think that person is a horribly addicted alcoholic.
@Perry Conrad I am a weed user, used to smoke everyday from like 4pm till i fell asleep, wake up at 12pm and do it again. I was speaking in terms of alcohol because thats been more prevalent and talked about in terms of abuse. The moment I realised I had a problem with weed was the moment I realised I wasnt using it for enjoyment and was instead using it to feel ok when im by myself. And that I got to that point by using it just chilling in my room by myself
@Perry Conrad hahah fair. Even in my country we had it "eradicated" for like 3 months and just found multiple new cases with no links to overseas travel so were back in partial lockdown. Dangerous times, disinfect ya bongs
Oh yeah definitely because that's when you learn how to roll your own joints and you stop depending on others to get high
Explain this thought a little more.. I prefer to smoke by myself. For years I have pondered if its hindering me... I really dont know. What did you mean though ?
Only after 7pm for me, and I'll have a smoke free night every third night. Shit is too much fun and I can't let it get hold of me.
This made me feel so much better. I usually take edibles about 4 or 5 times a week but thought that was too much. Now I understand I'm doing it in a more healthy way. I only ever take them at night like 3 hours before bed and have yet to get out of my mind with paranoia. I'm never high during the day. It's only when I'm done for the day and have nothing else to do but relax
As someone who's been smoking nearly daily for the past 6 months, this was very enlightening. Being able to use these substances as medicine or as a reward for hard work instead of pacifying myself was something I needed.
Only a seasoned veteran of pot abuse can fully grasp how important this really is, after many years of this habit, you start to notice how easily Jane came under your skin with out even noticing, and then you fight full force to defend it even though the relationship became toxic and counterproductive.
Mercurial 33 it's easy to see it from the beginning and decide for yourself if you want it to be toxic and counterproductive
@@TheCrappyZipper I think you're still in denial but I'm sure you'll come out of it eventually
The Rambler idk I learned from my dad, he started smoking when he was 12 and is still at 46, I started when I was 16 and am 17 now. Who cares if I'm on denial if I am enjoying myself, isn't that all there is to life? To enjoy yourself.
@@TheCrappyZipper no that is not what it's about
Kenny G then what is life about?
Finally someone that tells the truth, this whole hype about weed and “everyone is taking it” is going way too far
This video is the first thing in a while that has actually motivated me to stop smoking weed and drinking so much.
